Sierra $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sierra, and I am a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of The Arts Drama program (2024) with experience with caring for children from 1-10 years of age in the past. I’m now a professional actor and filmmaker on top of providing childcare. I have previously worked as a tour guide for my hometown's history museum which worked primarily with school groups. Thus, I have a lot of experience with large groups of elementary aged children. I have also performed children's theatre in the past. I am proud to be from a teaching family—with family members who work in the Department of Education in CA, public school teaching, and are professors at top universities around the world. Similarly, I have provided ACT and SAT English instruction in the past for high school students and scored a 34 in English and a 35 in Reading on the ACT. Including my theatre experience, I also speak Mandarin (intermediate). My hobbies include film photography, cooking (I was an apprentice at a two-star Michelin restaurant), hiking, exploring historical sites, and studying philosophy. I believe in the importance in helping nurture a child's empathy and their skills to later be a fully functioning adult. I believe that it is more important than ever for children to be able to express themselves and have someone to listen to them. I would be happy and honored to be someone who can help your child feel heard. I hope that in turn it would inspire them to be someone who reaches out to others as well.

Dana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Dana, and I’m seeking a long-term position as a nanny/childcare provider. For the right family, I’m open to longer hours or a live-in position, offering flexibility to meet your needs. With several years of experience as a teacher’s aide/assistant at a preschool and as a nanny for multiple families, I bring a wealth of expertise in childcare. I’m passionate about working with children because their energy is incredibly uplifting, and I thrive in the joyful, dynamic environment they create. My love for childcare has driven my career, and I’m excited to continue in a role where I can make a positive impact. In addition to childcare, I offer highly experienced pet care, ensuring your furry family members are well looked after. I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping duties, such as laundry, tidying up, and basic kitchen tasks (like dishwashing or organizing). Please note that light housekeeping does not include sweeping, mopping, scrubbing, or excessive vacuuming. I also provide light cooking, preparing a variety of dishes from simple snacks to family meals. As a personal assistant, I can handle tasks like picking up dry cleaning, pharmacy orders, food shopping, and driving children to and from activities, appointments, or school. I hold a valid driver’s license and drive a newly purchased SUV, offering reliable and convenient transportation. As a naturally neat, tidy, and organized person, I take pride in creating a clean and welcoming environment. In my spare time, I enjoy summer beach trips, attending sporting events, exploring, trying different restaurants, and watching sports. I’d love to connect with a family seeking a reliable, caring, and experienced nanny for a long-term partnership, whether part-time, full-time, or live-in. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can support your family!

Isabella $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Isabella and I am new to the city! I was born and raised in Venice Beach, CA. I moved to New York to be closer to my family who lives on the east coast and to have a new experience while I am in the early stages of my career! I studied Psychology at UC Santa Cruz where I focused on childhood and adolescent development. Throughout college I was a nanny and worked af a local preschool where I was able to conduct my senior research project on emotional regulation in I nannied throughout college and formed strong and lasting relationships with the families I worked with. Many families I worked with prioritized Montessori schooling methods, so I am familiar with that style of learning. My first year out of college, I worked as a Teacher’s Aide at a school for special needs children. I worked with children ages 7-14 who had varying IEP’s for things like autism, dyslexia, and ADHD, among others. I was trained in CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention) methods to de-escalate high-stress situations. I am a highly patient, playful, and responsible person, and I take pride in working with families and children. In the next couple of years, I would like to go back to school for a Master's in Marriage & Family Therapy, as I am interested in relationship dynamics and communication strategies. In my free time, I love to be active and outside! I’ve played volleyball my whole life, so I am eager to find a rec league in the city so I can play. I also love to travel and am lucky that my family prioritized this growing up, so I’ve been lucky to travel with them! My experience as a nanny has varied depending on each family’s needs, but I am familiar with school pickup/drop-off, snack and meal planning, homework help, bed/bath time, and planning daily activities. I have experience and am comfortable with overnights after getting to know the family and their children, as well as traveling as needed. I look forward to connecting and seeing if we would be a good fit:)
